I've been making a list of places here in Los Angeles that I want to explore. This Saturday, we had a nice brunch at King's Road cafe. And after our tummies were filled with pancakes, french toast, bacon, and soy latte, we headed to the Hollywood Reservoir.

| Can't go wrong with bacon. |
It's in between the 101 Fwy and Griffith Park. It was built in the 1920s, and once you are up there, you can barely tell you are in the city.
We drove until the end of the road, got out, and it didn't look like much. But after you walk past the chain link fence, you are welcomed with the best view of the Hollywood sign in the entire city
. Ever!

There's not much to do up there other than look at the sign, and look towards the westside of the city. But it's so calm and quiet and pretty.

| That first cluster of buildings is Hollywood. |
It's so far up (in LA-speak) that we could see Topanga Canyon.
 |
| The dam has since been reinforced on the inside (to make sure it won't ever leak into the neighborhoods below.) On the side of the structure, there are bear head gargoyles. Love the details! |
Totally coming back here again. With a real camera next time! (And sunscreen.)
 |
| Someone had a real sense of humor when adding this control plate. Why not take the mundane and turn it into something happy. |
